Major General Do Thanh Binh, Director of the Traffic Police Department.
On September 19, the Traffic Police Department announced that its Director has mandated immediate action from traffic police units nationwide to enhance road safety and order.
Specifically, traffic police are to conduct mobile patrols and, when stopping vehicles at a single checkpoint, must use body-worn cameras (mini cameras) or deploy cameras to record the entire inspection and enforcement process. All camera data must be stored in compliance with regulations. Additionally, any reports of violations received via hotline numbers of traffic police unit leaders or commanders must be addressed promptly.
In cases of planned comprehensive inspections, or when there are reports, complaints, reflections, or requests from agencies, organizations, or individuals regarding crimes or other legal violations, traffic police are authorized to stop vehicles at a single checkpoint. This also applies to specialized operations targeting overloading, exceeding passenger limits, and enforcing alcohol and drug-related regulations.

The Traffic Police Department’s leadership also instructed that traffic police teams assigned to direct traffic at intersections should focus solely on guiding and managing traffic flow. They are prohibited from stopping vehicles for inspections or violations, ensuring smooth and safe traffic movement.
After peak hours, these traffic police teams will patrol routes to document violations and conduct verification for “post-violation penalties.” In areas or intersections with complex traffic safety issues, dedicated teams will be deployed to address these challenges.
Moving forward, the Traffic Police Department and local Traffic Police Divisions will publicly disclose details regarding single-checkpoint inspections, traffic management deployments, and the use of cameras during patrols and enforcement. This information will be made available to the public, with the Traffic Police Department planning to implement these measures on highways soon.
The Traffic Police Department stated that, starting in 2026, all road, railway, and waterway traffic violations (not directly detected by technical devices or cameras) must be supported by visual data or electronic evidence before penalties can be issued.
